Yes in 2023 the US still stands at the top but it’s not a guaranteed future. To maintain that status requires maintenance and discipline. If you can do 9 laps in the time your competitors do 2 then it’s easy to stagnate. You can say, “why s

There’s a dead comment that says “Watching the collapse of the USA as a global super power. Neat.” What I think is more interesting is we’re reverting back from the unusual situation of having a single axis of power (USA) back to a more nat

Loki is great but PromQL is a doozy. I’m basically useless on grafana without the query builder. Tempo is also pretty cool if you’re emitting otel spans.

It’s incredibly expensive, looked into it before.

While your post was certainly hyperbolic I was uncomfortably surprised by how many people disagreed with you. For me the thing that disappoints me today in our industry is the number of mediocre professionals who give themselves too high of

There are also maintenance costs with the off the shelf solutions. E.g. Gitlab self-hosted runners don’t handle very large artifacts well and frequently caused CI to timeout. We had to roll our own artifact management system. In general I a

As someone who runs a fairly large community (~11k members) I think there are still a lot of low hanging fruit for monetization that can be explored. I do agree however that I am also surprised the quality hasn't taken a dip in all thi

We really are in a dark ages for GUI. I remember back in 2003-2007 every hobbyist programmer I knew was whipping up random UIs for their projects on windows. VB6, winforms, VCL, w/e. They were all ugly as hell but buttons were on the s

Interesting turn of events. For my team of about 10 users (5 just for access to wiki/issues) we recently moved to GitHub. When Gitlab first announced the price changes, annual billing and user restrictions on Gitlab.com we reluctantly

Kaitai looked cool last time I looked at it but no serialization meant I did not end up using it. From the article, looks like serialization is in the works, exciting!

I ran into this recently when using https://github.com/mozilla/sops . It worked pretty nicely and as a tool was quite easy to get started with.

My mistake for reading HN too early in the morning. You and the other poster are right.

As with any programming language. Solve a wide range of different problems in different domains using different python tools.

I very much enjoy Rust and write a fair bit of C++ as well. I don’t think Rust will replace C++ completely but it will definitely significantly eat into its market share for certain types of applications. In the past if you absolutely neede

To me it’s replacing one problem with another. Simply changing zoning from single to multi-family doesn’t actually change core root problems in my opinion. A suburb full of single family homes or a suburb of multi-family homes are just diff

I don’t care much for multi-family housing personally. I don’t want to share a wall with anyone, not even a family member and I’m willing to make some concessions for that freedom. However, recently I became interested in adding an “accesso

Ultimately we probably won’t switch but our game runs on a 20 year old engine that has had no updates in all that time. Directx9, no pixel shaders, poor performance, custom formats, windows only and no interoperability with modern formats.

Congratulations to the Godot team for reaching this milestone. As someone who leads a team working on a game project using an old, custom engine we have a quiet desire to switch to a different engine. There is a temptation to consider inves

I agree, your comment nails it for me. As an average developer who maybe is above average in C++ I’m just more productive and can produce better results in other languages in a shorter amount of time with less pain.

Godot 3 is pretty well supported and maintained for now. It's a great engine for smaller or personal projects IMO. Really reduces the barrier to entry to make a game, especially 2D or basic 3D

Godot is a nice engine. I did a 3D project in it during the 3.0.x era and it was by far the friendliest and easiest engine I have used to-date. I think it gets a lot of love from people (myself included) because of that. The node system is

2019 was the last time I looked into the CMake vs. Meson debate and while Meson looked 100% saner, cleaner, etc. the network effects of most of the popular C++ libraries using CMake made me end up picking CMake. I'd be curious how the

Congratulations on buying your house in 2015, it would be difficult to buy such a property at that price today without some large concessions on location or quality of the home. However, I do agree with the sentiment of your post. It's

If you are motivated you can learn everything that’s in a boot camp on your own. However, going through a boot camp successfully is a good signal during hiring that you have some experience in programming in relavent technology. It’s much h

Comparing to new grads is a strawman argument, I didn’t make that comparison in my orginal comment. I would argue new grads can have the same or more experience (courses, assignments & internships) yet they would still be treated as ent

Yes and perhaps your bias clouds your perception or desires a more positive reception of your “alma mater”. Boot camps generally illicit a negative reaction from experienced programmers. Primarily because their primary stated goal is to giv
